These animals are located in North America and may look familiar to you.

Red Wolf

Only a couple hundred red wolves exist in the wild today. At one point the population was reduced to only 17 animals total. The red wolf’s size is between a gray wolf and a coyote.

Bobcat

The bobcat has a gray to brown coat, whiskered face, and black-tufted ears, distinctive black bars on its forelegs, and a black-tipped, stubby tail, from which it derives its name. Bobcats are about twice as large as domestic cats.

Porcupine

Porcupines are rodents with a coat of sharp spines, or quills, that defend and camouflage them from predators. Contrary to popular belief, porcupines cannot shoot their quills at predators. However, their quills are barbed at the end. This means they are very hard to dislodge once they have become stuck in the body or face of an animal who has gotten too close.
